All Things Andrea

He scours the countryside each fall in search of these gems, meticulously shells them, and then distributes them to lucky folks like me. I am thrilled to have access to local black walnuts and enjoy them each morning in my warm oatmeal made from steel cut oats.

This package was ever so special to me on another level....

My Uncle John reminds me so much of my father, and getting this package in the mail today felt as if I had received something from my father who passed away last spring. Their handwriting is almost identical, and they both have/had their special projects that kept their minds sharp and their lives fruitful. I'm grateful for their legacy.
